Yeah, the founders also thought that blacks were 3/5 of a man, women had zero rights to anything, and one (Jefferson) even believed that the 'lost tribe of Israel' would be found in the newly-acquired Louisiana Purchase, giving specific instructions to Meriwether Lewis on how to handle them if Lewis & Clark found them.

LOL!!. The 3/5ths clause was the first attack in government against slavery. Why not learn of a subject before your wield it as some form of argumentative weapon!
